The most promising candidates for energy storage capacitor application are relaxor ferroelectrics, among which, the perovskite structure ferroelectric ceramics have witnessed great development progress. However, less attention has been paid on tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTBS) because of their lower breakdown strength and polarization. Herein, a multiscale regulation strategy is proposed to tune performances (ESP) TTBS from grain, domain, macroscopic scale. enhanced behavior with dynamic...

Abstract Dielectric ceramic capacitors with ultrahigh power densities are fundamental to modern electrical devices. Nonetheless, the poor energy density confined low breakdown strength is a long-standing bottleneck in developing desirable dielectric materials for practical applications. In this instance, we present high-entropy tungsten bronze-type relaxor ferroelectric achieved through an equimolar-ratio element design, which realizes giant recoverable of 11.0 J·cm −3 and high efficiency...

Abstract Tooth whitening has recently become one of the most popular aesthetic dentistry procedures. Beyond classic hydrogen peroxide-based agents, photo-catalysts and piezo-catalysts have been demonstrated for non-destructive on-demand tooth whitening. However, their usage challenged due to relatively limited physical stimuli light irradiation ultrasonic mechanical vibration. To address this challenge, we report here a convenient strategy based on pyro-catalysis effect, realized via...
